Let's Talk Suits

[Radox12]

Gentlemen. Let's face it, not many guys our age (Let's say teenagers for the sake of not knowing everybody's ages) know how to dress. You've seen the guys. They wear snapbacks, they wear pants with a super low rise, and they wear just really ridiculous, baggy clothes.

It is my personal opinion that the suit is not only the cleanest, nicest looking outfit on the market (although expensive) but it is the most versatile also. This is doubly so for a three-piece suit.

First of all I want to talk about the fit. The pants should break once at the ankle. We don't want the pants to form a puddle at your foot, but we don't want it to stop before the foot. It should fall on the foot, just enough that it forms a single break. The jacket should be snug against your body, but not tight. It should look like it fits perfectly to your body. You should not be busting out of the suit because it's so small, and it should not look baggy, or boxy. The sleeve should come up to reveal just a small amount of your shirt cuff.

You can wear a three-piece in many ways. There's the classic, which is full-on. Pants, waistcoat, jacket. Buttons done up, and the tie. This is a very professional look which always looks good.

One of my personal favourites is to ditch the jacket, roll up your shirt sleeves, unbutton the top button on your shirt and keep the tie loose. This, I feel, is a clean look that says "Professional, yet playful."

Another personal favourite is to lose the waistcoat and leave your jacket undone, revealing your tie. This is another very professional look that shows that you know how to dress.


I could go on for ages about suits but I'm keeping it short and sweet. I can't stress enough that every guy should have at least one suit in his wardrobe. More would be preferable but to each their own.

Got any favourite suit styles, colours or fabrics? Go ahead and let me know. I want this thread to be a place of non-judgement. This is a friendly place where we talk about suits.
